This game is undeniably an excellent game. However, there is a HUGE skill barrier to entry.

People are going to look at the videos/screenshots and think of a 3rd person hack n slash game. This is not that, this is not that AT ALL.

This game is a super competetive fighting game, with an extremely high skill ceiling. Unfortunately, the control interface and general gameplay is much different than anything else ever made in this style. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. It's good because it's fresh and different. It's bad because it makes learning what you are doing wrong a complete nightmare.

The "uniqueness" of the combat system also makes it somewhat unintuitive and you are going to lose .. a lot .. before you get good. When you begin playing this game, get ready to get floored over and over again, I suspect that there is a large amount of people that will not be able to adapt to this combat system. Add in the fact that the game looks like a casual hack n slash and that is a huge recipe for dissapointment.

However, if white knuckle highly competetive fighting games are your thing, then this game is your jam. Imagine if Street Fighter completely threw out its 6 button system and replaced it with something never done before by anyone. You will get a sense of infuriation and confusion over something you're nto used to, but if you master it .. you will be miles above the average player and able to roll people. But, like in high level fighting games .. when you get 2 players fighting who are both competent ... then thats when this game shines, you will have one of the most intense fighting experiences you've ever had.

I hope this will become an eSports game, because this is the sort of thing that would be amazing to watch on a stage.
